What is the

Silicon Valley Fellowship

?

A program to get fast-tracked into Silicon Valley ​through workshops, private community and networking events held in and around the cities of the San ​Francisco Bay Area.
‍
It’s a deep dive into the expertise of heads of Global tech ​corporations, professors of top world ranked universities, and ​founders of successful companies.

This experience has already inspired hundreds of fellows ​and has changed the lives of many who are ready to tell ​their stories. With it, we strive to shape the next professional, academic ​and entrepreneurial class.

Ever since I was a kid, people would roll their eyes at me, calling me unrealistic. It’s frustrating not to be taken seriously, especially when all you want to do is help others.

Ambition & optimism are honestly funny. They go hand in hand of course but there's a fine line between rational optimism and irrational optimism. When I was younger, I was very ambitious but very irrationally optimistic. But I've learned over time how to create actionable goals that are realistic but still in the mindset of "Impacting Billions". And that's because of who I surround myself with.

When I went to San Francisco for the Silicon Valley Fellowship, I finally felt understood. I found my people, and I had a BLAST!

Being part of a Silicon Valley Fellowship program allowed me to be at the heart of global innovations. During this program, I gained invaluable insights, broader perspective on innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship from iconic tech companies like Google and Meta, the prestigious Stanford University, as well as from leading VC firms. All this ignited my curiosity even further 🚀

The most impactful part of this journey was the incredible people I met along the way. Their curiosity, intelligence, and commitment to making the world a better place were truly inspiring. We shared ideas, dreams, and aspirations, forming connections that I believe will last a lifetime ✨🤝 …

This past week two big things happened in my life:

1. I was part of the Silicon Valley Fellowship.
2. I decided to move to San Francisco.

Silicon Valley Fellowship
This fellowship has been an incredible experience. The amount of insight, knowledge, and connections I’ve gained in just one week is honestly unbelievable. I want to express my thanks to the Gomry team for making this happen, Erick Turricelli and Tommaso Tosi. Organizing this is certainly no small feat, and I truly appreciate the hard work and vision behind creating such an impactful program.

This month, I defended my Master’s thesis, concluding a five-year degree in Industrial Engineering and Management. I also went to the United States for the first time, in the most amazing context. At the age of 23, just before entering the job market, I had the opportunity to visit the biggest tech giants and meet some of the most resilient and inspiring people in this ecosystem. Thank you Silicon Valley Fellowship for the experience of a lifetime and the years of motivation to come.

We’ll meet again 🚀

✔️ I applied to the Silicon Valley Fellowship, got accepted, packed my backpack, and flew solo to the other side of the world 🌎. In 2 weeks, I explored 3 cities that had lived rent-free in my mind for years. I visited companies I’ve admired for so long in San Francisco, enjoyed the amazing beaches of LA, and got lost in New York's never-ending lights.

I don’t have those inspiring stories where as a kid I made a computer and I didn't grow up dreaming about going to Silicon Valley, because I never knew it could be possible. But it happened. (YES)

This fellowship gave me more than just the opportunity to visit global tech companies, it gave me the chance to talk with CEOs and managers, to see their daily lives, and to hear their stories.

I had countless pinch-me moments standing at some HQs such as Google, Apple, Tesla, YCombinator, Uber, Salesforce and others. It was like being a 4yo receiving the first bike at Christmas.
